Curtis Jones of Liverpool reacts after a missed chance during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Anfield on Sunday. Arsenal 's Premier League title hopes suffered a massive blow as Aston Villa struck twice in the closing stages to boost their top four bid with a dramatic 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
With just six games left, champions City are closing in on an unprecedented fourth successive Premier League crown.But the Gunners should have been on a high after Liverpool suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace just half an hour before kick-off in north London. Villa had moved up to fourth place without kicking a ball after Tottenham's thrashing at Newcastle on Saturday dropped them below Emery's men on goal difference.
Watkins should have put obdurate Villa ahead when he was allowed to break into the Arsenal area unimpeded for a low strike that cannoned back off the post and ricocheted along the goalline to safety. Lucas Digne's low cross eluded Arsenal defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, leaving Bailey with the simple task of slotting into the empty net from close-range.
Eberechi Eze's early goal handed the Eagles a vital win in their battle for survival as they move eight points clear of the drop zone.The League Cup winners were on course for a quadruple just a few weeks ago. Alisson Becker made his long-awaited return in goal for the home side, but he had no chance when Eze was left with a simple finish from Tyrick Mitchell's cross.
